about this manual

To get the most from your a/d/s/ PowerPlateTM, we recommend that you have the installation performed by your qualified authorized a/d/s/ dealer. If this unit is installed by your dealer, we will extend the warranty to three years instead of the standard one year. However, if you feel that you have the necessary skills and prefer to perform the installation yourself, this manual will guide you through the process of installation and set-up. Please read through it completely before beginning the installation so that you may familiarize yourself with the total procedure before you begin. If there is anything that you do not fully understand, please consult with your a/d/s/ dealer before attempting the installation.

keep listening, but be safe!

Sustained listening to loud music over 100dB has been shown to cause permanent hearing dam- age. Systems using a/d/s/ components are capable of achieving volume levels which substantially exceed this level. When operating your system for sustained periods at high volume, be sure to use hearing protection to prevent long-term exposure. We want you to be able to enjoy the music for many more years.

features of your PowerPlate™

Transient PerfectTM MOSFET Power Supply – The heart of the P-series, this supply frees the PowerPlateTM from the constraints of common pwm (pulse width modulated) supplies. The advan- tages are: extremely fast overload recovery time, low output

mpedance for superior damping, and stability during voltage fluctuations for reliable performance in the harsh automotive environment.

Remote Subwoofer Control Capability – Can be used with accessory control AC502 to provide a dashboard mounted subwoofer or rear channel level control

Detachable Plug in Connectors – High current speaker and power connectors simplify installation.

Multi-crossTMVariable Built-in Crossovers – High-pass, Low-pass and Bandpass functions are built-in, virtually eliminating the need for external crossover networks in even the most elaborate systems.

PowerPlateTM Design – a/d/s/ original low profile, high efficiency heatsink design keeps size mini- mum and allows mounting where space is limited.

Wide Input Sensitivity Range – Allows connection to virtually any source unit from factory OEM radios through low output preamps.

Simultaneous Stereo and Mono – Each channel pair may be used Stereo, Mono, Bridged or both Stereo and Mono simultaneously. This allows an additional Mono speaker to be used with a stereo pair for center-channel or subwoofer applications from each channel pair.

Same Side Adjustments – The P-series PowerPlateTM makes system adjustment easy by organizing all signal processing controls on one side of the amplifier. This layout allows convenient system adjustment and facilitates a variety of installation possibilities when access to the controls is desired.
